Embraces high standards both in the classroom and on the basketball court and competes for excellence. 2. Focuses on team goals more than individual goals and knows his role on our team, takes great pride in it, and executes. 3. Tells the truth and makes no excuses regardless of the circumstances. 4. Represents himself, his family, and the Sumner High School in a first place manner at all times. 5. Represents his teammates, cares about them, takes responsibility for their well being, and treats them as family. 6. Recognizes our identity as a team is that we are smart, tough minded, well conditioned, unselfish, and in all that we do our disposition is to “Attack”. 7. Believes that team defense wins championships and is totally committed to his own development in this area. CONFIDENTIAL: Sumner High School Boys Basketball Use Only 3 DO WHAT WE DO: Sumner Spartans Basketball Defensive Philosophy SUMNER SPARTANS DEFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY We take great pride in being an outstanding defensive team. We believe that this mentality is necessary in order to accomplish our team goals. We are prepared to earn and prove this everyday. Our defensive approach is based on the core belief that a “Team Defense” must be in place to be effective. This approach relies heavily on three concepts- togetherness, physical toughness and discipline. Our defense does not give up easy points – “no easy buckets”. Off a made basket we sprint back into our Pack Line pressure man-to-man defense – “10”. We understand the importance of “controller”/“reader” and identify that this is the cornerstone to our defensive foundation. As we pressure, we understand passers vision and disrupt a shooter’s rhythm. No straight-line drivers are allowed, we level off all dribblers. Off the ball we must have “Triangle Vision” of ball, you, man at all times. As an off the ball defender, our responsibility is to support ball pressure with a “pack line” philosophy and defend all screening actions with intensity and concentration. We want to keep the ball out of the post at all times. A “Cardinal Sin” on defense is to allow a direct pass into the post – this will not happen. If a post catch does occur, we will smother it immediately with a trap, crowd, or attack it with perimeter defenders. CONFIDENTIAL: Sumner High School Boys Basketball Use Only 4 DO WHAT WE DO: Sumner Spartans Basketball Defensive Philosophy SUMNER SPARTANS DEFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY On dribble penetration, our positioning off the ball is our help. We eliminate the concept of help and recover through this type of positioning. First and foremost, we stop the ball at all times. We allow no layups; by taking charges or making hard plays on the ball. Our recovery to shooters is executed by an aggressive close-out with high hands. Our help is both early and dependable. We challenge every shot aggressively with no exceptions. If we see an open man, we guard him. When a shot is taken, we block-out and pursue the ball relentlessly, not allowing second shots by our opponents. We are a nasty, strong and determined defensive unit. We are also intelligently aggressive; we do not give our opponents free-throws unless we need to. The goal of each possession is simple: stop the ball and get the ball. We play defense with our bodies, minds, and hearts. Our defensive disposition at Sumner High School is to dominate. Our thirty-two minutes of basketball represents a team totally committed to being fierce and relentless on every defensive possession- we take no plays off. We recognize there are no shut outs in basketball. However, a team that competes against us will earn every point they score. CONFIDENTIAL: Sumner High School Boys Basketball Use Only 5 DO WHAT WE DO: Sumner Spartans Basketball Defensive Philosophy DEFENSIVE IDENTITY & SYSTEM A. Our identity as a defensive team is defined as stopping the ball. In order to stop the ball, we must pressure the ball, surround the ball by defending as a team at all times, and play with a passion and energy on every defensive possession of the game. Defense is extremely important in our program. B. We are a man-to-man half court defensive team. Field goal percentage defense, rebounding percentage, defensive three pt. field goals attempted + percentage, turnovers forced, and personal fouls committed are the five biggest indicators of our success defensively. C. To compliment our half court man-to-man defense (“10”) we play zone (e.g., “12”, “13”, “23” and “32”). These zone defenses we will show occasionally but depends on our opponent and the game situation on how much. Clearly, we are a man-to-man defensive program first. D. We can extend our defense to full court (“Red X”) but this takes place off a steal or turnover that leads to a score. However, as our depth grows we will continue to increase our efficiency and frequency of our full court pressure. Forcing turnovers without fouling unnecessarily is part of our defensive identity. E. Our UOB and SOB defense is a “source of pride” within our program. We will look to be creative and unconventional with our approach. This is done to make us harder to prepare for and to also allow our attacking mentality to be in place defensively. We want to create turnovers, timeouts used, and to take away points by our opponent in this area. CONFIDENTIAL: Sumner High School Boys Basketball Use Only 6 DO WHAT WE DO: Sumner Spartans Basketball Defensive Philosophy TERMINOLOGY & CONCEPTS Off steal or turnover that leads to a score we immediately pick up in our RED 42 and fall back into our 12. Off a made basket we sprint back into our 10 defense Off a missed shot we immediately sprint back into our 10 or 12 defense. We will alter defenses as the game progresses. 10 = ¼ court man-to-man… Pick up at our own 3-point line…No switches! 20 = ½ court man-to-man... Pick up at half court 30 = ¾ court man-to-man… Pick up at the opponents 3-point line 40 = Full court man-to-man… Pick up at opponents baseline Tag = ½ court defense, switching all screens. Do not switch without tagging off our original man. 12 = 1-2-2 Match-Up Zone 13 = 1-3-1 Zone 23 = 2-3 zone 32 = Triangle and 2 Spider = ¾ 1-3-1 defense with traps that can be made. We will only trap when quality opportunities come about. 42 = 1-2-2 full-court matchup zone RED = Trap the basketball from behind with “eyes” rule. RED 42 = 1-2-2 full-court matchup zone with “eyes” principle, fall back into 12 GOLD = Press with contain rules. Do not get beat middle. Nothing easy. ICE = trap Black ICE = Baseline Traps Only White ICE = Wing Traps Only Thumbs Up = Trap the ball as soon as it crosses half court with nearest 2 using the “eyes” rule. We can use “thumbs-Up” an entire possession and trap a designated opponent every time he receives the ball and begins to dribble. Thumbs Down = Trap the ball as soon as it is passed past half court. This is a 1 trap and done. On all missed shots we send 3 offensive players to the boards and send 2 defenders back to become the “controller” and “reader” CONTROLLER is responsible for finding the outlet and slowing the progression of the ball up the floor. The “controller” assumes a position just outside the 3 point line in the full court. READER is responsible for surveying the scene and taking the first pass up the floor that the “controller” is not able to defend. The “reader” assumes a position just outside the 3 point line in the half court. SHAQ = Must Foul! We will call the jersey number of the individual we wish to foul CONFIDENTIAL: Sumner High School Boys Basketball Use Only 7 DO WHAT WE DO: Sumner Spartans Basketball Defensive Philosophy PACK LINE PRESSURE MAN-TO MAN DEFENSE We employ the PACK LINE pressure man-to-man defense at Sumner High School in order to compete in one of the state’s top conferences By employing our theory of defensive play, we will lower our opponent’s field goal percentage, we will improve our rebounding, and we will reduce their opportunities for lay-ups and easy baskets whether off dribble penetration or in transition.
